You have already identified the raw water that enters your home is less than desirable. You may have lime scale buildup, smelly water, or various other reasons you contacted us about improving your water quality. To turn your raw water into “Working Water” it needs to be treated. How we treat it will depend first on if your water is from a well or if you are on city water. Whether your water supply comes from the city or a private well, a whole-house water softener is a smart idea. No matter which water supply you have, chances are you have hard water – especially here in Washington State. Well water naturally picks up minerals along its way into your home, and city water, though filtered, still contains minerals and some contaminants.

There are three types of water?
Raw Water
Raw water is water found in the environment that has not been treated and does not have any of its minerals, ions, particles, bacteria, or parasites removed.
Working Water
Working water is water that has been treated and used for washing dishes, doing laundry, and showering.
Drinking Water
Drinking water, also known as potable water, is water that is safe to drink or use for food preparation.
Understanding Your Water Source and Solutions
City Water
Treating City Water
Although the Environmental Protection Agency requires city water to be filtered of certain contaminants, it still contains elements that can be harmful to your home and can dry out your skin. City water is typically water that initially contains pollutants and contaminants, but it is treated on a daily basis with chlorine and fluoride to remove or reduce them. While the contaminants are reduced, city water still contains minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, and sometimes sulfur, which make the water hard.
Over the past 25 years of experience in Washington State, we recommend the following systems to treat your raw city water.

Well Water
Treating Well Water
With a private well, your water comes directly out of the ground. The groundwater is naturally filtered through the earth’s surface as it runs into your well, but it also picks up minerals and contaminants along the way. As your water runs through the ground, it can potentially interact with dangerous contaminants like pesticides and fertilizers. The same minerals found in city water can be found in well water, causing you to have the same issues with hard water. Even if your well water doesn’t taste or smell bad, it can still be negatively affecting your plumbing and appliances with mineral buildup.
